Immigration and Emigration
Empty village of Talvara in Mirpur

As chain migration developed and settled communities became established many villages became relocated in specific parts of Bradford. Many villages in Mirpur are virtually empty as most of the residents are abroad. Talvara is one example where most doors are found padlocked. Those residents that remain are either the elderly or women with children.
